Hi all,
 
First HAPY NEW YEAR!! to all of you! :))
 
Question:
 
A couple of weeks ago, someone (I think it was Lynn....) mentioned feeding waterspray into the throttlebody/carburator at around 2000 rpm (piston engine) to clean any deposits from the cylinder/piston/turbo/etc.
The discussion was about cleaning lead deposits from sparkplugs in the Rotary, me thinks....
I wonder if anyone of you is also a Dieselhead (besides the Rotary:)):
Would this procedure help with a small Turbo-Diesel? (Toyota 3L Turbo Diesel).
It runs great, but starts to puff small black clouds if I really rev it (Redline 4400 rpm). Smoke puffs start at around 3300 with pedal on the floor - under full load.
I wonder if this is only some carbon deposits in the exhaust or a dripping injector or ???
I am running Acetone in the fuel (so far good results....).
The engine has close to 110K km on it.
I don't mind testing something, but if it is a definite no-no, I would like to know up front - it IS my daily driver.
The engine is runnnig on Mobil Delvac 1 (The Mobil synthetic for Diesels)
 
If it makes any sense to clean the engine with water spray no and then, please advice!!
 
Thanx,
 
Thomas Jakits
